Film analysis Onda: main topics
Rainer, a different professor
From the first seconds of the film, we can see that Rainer Wenger is a professor for common. Wearing a two Ramones shirt, he directs até à escola, singing punk full lungs and having fun not walking.
Essa young and relaxed posture You will never guess as to what the ele teria has a future not too distant.
At school he was developing various projects on forms of government and Wenger wanted to do a project on anarchy, which was closer to two serious interests of him. However, a more velho professor does not allow it to be effected as a subject, saying that it would be helpful to avoid problems.
Next days, or contagion As fascist ideias (and the promotion of power) it would transform everyone that was present, starting with the professor's own hair.
What is the objective of Onda?
A school created activity so that some of you can learn about other political regimes and learn to value democracy even more. Or professor começa presenting or concept of autocracy, a thermo that I saw from Grego old and meant absolute power.
Logo in the first classroom, Rainer fates like the serious students about the past blood of Nazi Germany and a class debate the perigos of extremist nationalism and two speeches of hate. Um two teenagers affirm, then, that it is impossible that Alemanha was once again dominated by fascism.
Or intuit the social experience of Rainer Wenger and show some serious students or how easy it is to be manipulated pela força and o discourse das massas and we will behave in an authoritarian way, we will perceive the ideology that governs our actions.
How is a fascist regime born?
The first steps taken by Rainer and his class are quite important to understand everything or what will happen next. In the first classroom, the students will learn that our autocracy exists um individual who gives the rules for the populationThese rules can change at any time, conferring unlimited power to keep you alive.
They are also raising uma list of fatherspoliticians and sociais What contributes to the establishment of an authoritarian government: social inequalities, unemployment, injustice, inflation, exacerbated nationalism and, above all, a fascist ideology.
Either one student could affirm that either Nazism would never be able to return to Germany, or the professor declares that it is within an hour of the interval. When he returned to class, the tables were moved from place to place.
This is the first time that Rainer suddenly alters the regrets, functioning as a turning moment. Continuing on his list, some determine that a position also requires control, surveillance and a central figure where it will focus or power.
As a quick vote it is apparently democratic, or professor is chosen to take office. From the first moment, it is possible to perceive that his behavior is altered: he misses that he hardly wanted to be treated by "Senhor Wenger" and that, from that moment on, he demands respect.
The room, which used to be cheia de barulho e de vida, becomes silent and no one can fail without permission. When called by Rainer, some of you have to stand up and respond in a disciplined and military manner. O professor affirms that "discipline and power" and expels three students who refused to obey, making his name known. authority perante or group.
Onda começa to be back
Logo from the first classroom, it will become noticeable that the reactions of two students to experience are quite different. Enquanto Karo comments with me that it was very strange and sudden, Tim, for example. He is clearly fascinated as an exercise.
Not the next day, the places of the room are altered, separating the habitual groups and causing a greater sensation of isolation in each individual. Not so, é a lição é sobre unidade.
Rainer sends some of them to march for a long time, just like an army. Explain that with the intention and to bother the class that is not floor underfoot, making a project on anarchy as a teacher of whom they do not gostavam.
Since you alunos I found an inimigo comum: "you anarchists". The incentive to free hate ends up generating several conflicts between the youngsters, whose violence will escalate during the film.
Rainer announces that he will place the best alumni alongside two superiors, because it will be beneficial to or collectively: "União é poder". Mona is the first student who shows upset with discrimination and decides to abandon her experience.
At the same time, some of other groups are interested and resolve to join as well, expanding or group size at their maximum capacity. Aí, decide to breed um nome e uma saudação, or that helps to support its popularity.
They also resolve to establish a mandatory uniform, as an aim to eliminate the differences between members, and raise their individuality as well. To declare his absolute loyalty to Onda, Tim decides to burn all his other clothes.
Já Karo, contrary hair, I don't want to wear a uniform and go to the classroom with a vermelha blouse. Marco, or if he is in love with her, fails that she is selfish for isso. TO rebellious attitude He placed it in the cause of the Onda authority and, because of this, he began to be ostracized by his colleagues.
In a sequence, I was expelled from the theater group and began to be ignored by everyone, I tied my hair in love. Nessa dawn, the teenagers backham stickers and paint or symbol of Onda all over the place, including no Prefeitura building, to establish dominance:
Let's go through the city that nem uma wave!
A movement of resistance arises
Or a time of aquatic polo, twisted hair "Senhor Wenger", ends up turning a symbol of the power of the Wave and all the supporters of the movement come together crooked.
Karo and Mona, who have been excluded, will resolve to start working together in the crime or movement "Parem a onda", collecting evidence about violence and intimidation of two students.
Depois de serem barradas na porta, they manage to enter hairs of the building and throwing hundreds of pamphlets hair ar, claiming or ending the experience.
This species of anti-system propaganda It causes a non-local rebellion, causing a generalized confusion among some lutas, arquibancadas and within the water.
Or scandal coincides as a day in which a matter about A Onda leaves the layer of the day, causing an ever greater controversy.
Violência e transformação dos personagens
One of the two most obvious and most important points of experience is how he sees the behavior and character of two characters change. Embora Karo maintains the same position, quasi from either beginning, or not verifying himself with the other outstanding figures of the film.
Lisa, for example, who was extremely embarrassed, reveals herself to be calculating and cruel. Marco, facing a problematic family situation, finds refuge in Onda and is becoming every time more aggressive com or tempo.
In his fury of him it culminates no moment when he attacked him in love, because of two pamphlets that he back. It happened, or I was confronted with the toxic nature of his behavior and the barnacle:
This business of Onda transformed me.
No case of Rainer, to moving is sudden and notorious for all. A wife, who works at a school, assists from part of her actions and tries to bring her husband's attention several times.
After a chaotic dinner, the brigade accuses him of manipulating some of them to be adored by them. In the sequence, Anke decides to leave home and finish the marriage: "You become an idiot."
When you summon your students, pela last time, or seu I argue demagogue Começa inciting or hateful and using chave-words like political, economy, poverty and terrorism. Then, "Senhor Weigner" goes on to confront them as either the hidden side of you or what you have thought and ugly during the last week:
Would you kill him? Torture? That is so that they fazem na ditadura!
However, here that should be a girl of collective attention becomes more dramatic, exactly because of the change that happened with Tim. O Garoto, who has presented a solitary personality in a case of family neglect, foi sem dúvida or more shaved for the experience.
Because of the war between A Onda and the anarchists, or a young fanatic, he decides to buy a weapon from the internet, which he uses to ameaçar his opponents.
Later, when the professor declares that A Onda finished, Tim said that lost or seu purpose He ends up using that weapon to shoot his own life. Moments depois, we can see Rainer in the bank behind the car of the police and his expression of him and of pure shock, as you only estivesse becoming aware of everything that happened.
Explanation of the film Onda
In the experience of Rainer Weigner we have proved or how easy it can be to manipulate a group, showing that we can be being instrumentalized and walking "on the wrong side of History" without perceiving.
Or teacher managed to verify for the class that, meeting a certain set of conditions, nenhuma sociedade ou população is imune à fascist ideology. Rainer wanted to convey or teach that at this age it is always a risk and, therefore, we need to pay attention.
Not so, or protagonist is an essential detail: or power get corrupted Até quem less we wait. Accustomed to being treated as an exquisite professor or a subversive attack, he began to win over two students, who followed him uncritically.
And why are these young people embarking on Onda and being carried by her? In response, I will be present for a long time of everything or film, through your words from him. Logo did not come, during a festival, two students talked about his management, stating that it had no objective for one individual. For them, nothing seems to make sense and they live in a hedonistic and inconsequential way.
In order to feel included in some matter, they will not import to exclude those who do not agree. Assim like fascists, we were willing to inflict other people to feel special or superior to them.
"A Terceira Onda": or what happened?
A history of Onda foi based on real fatos embora, na verdade, the narrative had been less tragic. In 1967, or North American professor Ron Jones, who taught History in Palo Alto, in California, resolved create a social experiment to explain serious years in what ways or nazism could return to us society.
As the "A Terceira Onda" movement, Jones managed to convince students that they should fight democracy and individuality. Embora the most violent events that are represented in no sejam fictional film, at the time, or if it provoked a national scandal.
In 1981, author Todd Strasser was inspired by experience to write Onda and, not the same year, a television adaptation emerged.
